Putin's perspective is exactly what makes Bush's comments so pitifully ill-timed. Of course you have to ask yourself that, its why one can become alarmed with the Bush approach on this one. But from an American foriegn policy perspective, acknowledging Putin's view point, should only be for the purposes of greater world stability and US geo-political strategy. You shoot for the top, the ideal, but when a country isn't exactly like us, you have to keep watch, but don't go about humilating necessary allies in the effort to thwart arms proliferation, this should be a bigger policy objective. Both us and Russia need to have an understanding at this crucial period to manage arm issues effectively.
